What’s not so great
Waring pro induction gives you the most basic level of cooking. It does not fit well for bulk cooking as it has only one cooking surface.
The embedded features do not include a child lock or a pause feature. This endangers the safety and increases the chances of an accidental interruption or change of the preset function.
The induction cooktop is only good enough for induction friendly cookware. They have to be ferromagnetic in order for the induction process to take place. All other pots and pans will not work.
The cooling fan is very noisy. The induction heating area is quite small and fits with only pots and pans with 8 inches. This makes it impossible to cook bacon or a large steak.
At its lowest setting, the cooktop will still boil water. This it does by cycling on and off. There is no long simmer feature that is apt for gravies and soups.
When the timer time expires, it just beeps and does not automatically shut down. Someone has to physically turn the induction off.
It does not have a residual heat indicator that helps the chef to know with a glance whether the cooktop is safe to touch or not for cleaning.
How Waring pro induction cooktop works
Below are how to use the Waring Pro induction cooktop:
To switch on
Once the unit is plugged into an electrical outlet, place the cookware on the glass top and press the on/off button

Timer function
To operate the timer, press the button labeled timer on the left side. The indicator will illuminate above it. Use the arrow increase or decrease button to set the timer to your desired cooking time.
If you press and hold the up or down arrow, the timer will advance rapidly. The timer can be adjusted to a maximum of 150 minutes. At the end of the timed cycle, the timer will beep 3 times.
Automatic pan detection
The cooktop will turn off automatically if the cookware is not compatible or lifted up for 30 seconds. It will not recognize cookware which is not ferromagnetic such as glass, copper, and aluminum.
The induction works well with a magnetic grade of stainless steel, iron, cast iron, and steel or iron-clad aluminum or copper.
Overheat detection
The unit automatically turns off after a long beep when the cookware/cooktop exceeds the temperature limit.
This prevents the burning of empty pots and heating up of the components of induction.
Switching off
Just press the on/off button. When the unit is off, the fan may continue running for a minute or more until the cooktop cools down. Wait for it to stop before starting the cleaning process.
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution followed by a dry wipe. For more details read our article on cleaning the cooktop.
